Penn High School in Mishawaka, Ind., is one of the top high school programs in the Hoosier State. Despite that success on the field, the program produces only a handful of Division I prospects. But Braxston Cave, a 6-foot-4, 295-pound center/defensive tackle, is well on his way to being the exception.

"I've been talking to a lot of schools," Cave said. "Notre Dame invited me to all of their home games for unofficial visits; I did that. I visited Iowa for the Purdue game and I went to Michigan for the Vanderbilt game. I'm going to Florida on April 1."
